Steven Soderbergh?s Che depicts the two military campaigns that defined the rise and fall of Ernesto ?Che? Guevara, hero of the Cuban Revolution, who became in death a global icon of militant leftism?and of inchoate adolescent rebellion. As the latter, he has been, ironically, a capitalist windfall?the face that launched a trillion posters and T-shirts. Soderbergh?s movie is neither a traditional biopic nor an analysis of Che as the brand that never goes out of style. Rather, it is a detailed representation of guerrilla warfare, shot in a manner that is as close to guerrilla filmmaking as a roughly $60 million production can get. While $60 million may seem like a great deal of money, it?s chump change compared with the average price of studio action pictures, especially since Che is actually two feature-length films, shot on location with thirty-nine days allotted for each, and both with large casts of characters.
